Hi! This card took on a life of itÂ’s I started out making a TOTALLY different card, with a different color combo and layout. However, NOW it appears to be inspired by This Bag and This Necklace.
Ever have that happen? Well, I had the card all layered and put together. Next thing I know, IÂ’m taking it apart and CASING one of my own cards! I didnÂ’t even realize I had done it, until I saw the other card laying on my table, waiting to be mailed out tomorrow! Yep, the subconscious took right over!
I stamped the images in AdirondackÂ’s Espresso and colored them in with Copics. I added Inkssentials pen dots.
Finished card size: 4 ¼” x 5 ½”
Total time to make: 52 minutes. It would have been less, but I tore apart the card and started over!
